Food

Parties (especially at Christmas!) are a time to indulge, so be sure to provide lots of good grub and tasty treats for your guests to munch on throughout the night. BBC Good Food has plenty of party recipes that are sure to go down with a bang.

However, if you’d rather take away the stress of cooking, M&S party food offers tasty sandwiches, rolls and wraps and bite-size treats that will help you build a brilliant buffet to have your guests coming back for more.

Music

Getting the music just right can make or break the atmosphere, but first, you’ll need to identify what sort of vibe you’re going for.

Whether you’re after classic Christmas tunes, some dance hits to get everyone off the sofa or just want some easy listening to play out in the background, Spotify makes it super easy to browse different genres and artists, with readymade playlists put together by music experts.

Don’t have Spotify? A vintage-style classic turntable like this one looks great and will have you reminiscing about the old days or if you’re more into modern decor, get an entertainment system installed in your new home with the Beal Difference.

Entertainment

Catching up with good friends might be all the entertainment you need, but it never hurts to have a few photo booth props handy to make your party pictures all the more memorable.

As if you needed it, a game of Prosecco Pong gives you an excuse to open even more bottles of fizz and when that’s done, guests might even be up for a game of Twister!The morning after...
